Chapter 322: Youth is a childish and selfish love-hate relationship
After receiving this news from Lin Wanzhou, Xu Cheng instantly understood why Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining had quarreled to such an extent over breakfast in the morning.
It's like you have been guarding a radish for many years and you are reluctant to eat it, and suddenly someone comes and starts to eat it. Who wouldn't be anxious?
But perhaps it was because he was too concerned, Li Qiuyang's way of handling the matter was indeed a bit rough, and he might even push the carrot in the direction of others.
In the dim bus compartment.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Wanzhou asked softly.
In the night, her eyes were as black and bright as gems, like the moon hidden in the flowing clouds.
"You are thinking about how to help your good brother, right?"
"You really understand me, Lin Wanzhou. How do you say that phrase? It means that we are like worms in each other's stomachs."
Lin Wanzhou looked at him with disdain.
"It's just telepathy, okay? Also, don't use any weird metaphors. I don't want any bugs crawling into my stomach."
“…”
"You can help Li Qiuyang, but I won't take care of this matter . And I don't want you to get involved in other people's affairs. A forced melon is not sweet. Anyway, I will definitely not influence Aning to make her own judgment."
The girl spoke quietly, and Xu Cheng looked at Lin Wanzhou, who was sitting by the window, with an incredible look. She felt embarrassed being stared at, so she turned her head with a slightly red face and looked straight ahead, shaking her calves under the seat.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Lin Wanzhou."
"Um?"
"I see you've grown up."
“…”
The girl quickly covered her chest with her arms.
"Where are you looking, you... hooligan..."
Somehow, I felt a little proud after hearing what Xu Cheng said.
Could it be that she also has the legendary impressive capital?
Xu Cheng was helpless.
This was clearly not what he was talking about. What he meant was that he felt she was more mature and had more ideas of her own than before.
But I didn't correct it.
Being able to think of that level in an instant shows that Lin Wanzhou has grown up a lot in areas that only adults can get involved in.
"Lin Wanzhou, Lin Wanzhou."
The boy poked the girl's arm again, and Lin Wanzhou turned around with her cherry-like lips pouted.
"What are you doing?"
"Can you just help me a little?"
"I already said I won't help."
"That's all I can do."
Xu Cheng pinched the tip of his pinky finger and said, "Master Station Master, on the basis of ensuring that you will not make any principled mistakes, can you help me with a little help?"
“…”
The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, and her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered slightly in the direction of his hands.
"Then how are you going to repay me?"
"Master Station Master, you are asking for a bribe!"
"Um?"
Lin Wanzhou raised his voice by three points and glared at him. Xu Cheng didn't dare to continue and asked tentatively.
"Master Station Master, is your neck sore?"
"Um?"
"You must be a little tired after studying all day."
As he spoke, Xu Cheng patted his broad arms and coughed twice.
"Hehe, you can lean on the student council president's shoulder."
The girl rolled her eyes at him and hit him on the arm again.
"You're going to die, Xu Cheng. Are you repaying me or rewarding yourself?"
Xu Cheng imitated her in a strangled voice, "Xu Cheng, you're going to use this to bribe the cadres? Which cadre can't afford such a bribe..."
"What are you talking about...haha."
The girl giggled and patted him, and Xu Cheng cooperated by pretending to be in pain.
There was a burst of laughter, causing the driver to look at the back of the car through the rearview mirror and sigh at the appearance of the two people.
It’s good to be young.
After playing around for a while, Lin Wanzhou positioned Xu Cheng properly, then gently tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder.
His shoulders are very broad, and the feeling of using them as a pillow is no worse than that of a pillow.
This made the girl feel very strange. His body was so strong and hard, so why didn't it feel uncomfortable when she rested her shoulder on him?
Is it possible that the shoulder muscles can be hard when they should be hard, and soft when they should be soft?
Slowly, this comfort is amplified along the sensory nerves and spreads throughout the body.
The girl felt herself softening a little.
Not only the head, but also the delicate body seemed to have lost strength and fell limply on Xu Cheng's arm.
He was warm, so the night didn't seem so cold anymore.
Beside her, Xu Cheng gently sniffed the faint fragrance of the girl's hair, which was as faint as orchid and refreshing.
This gave him the satisfaction of eating the whole girl into his mouth.
The girl's snuggle made him quiet down all of a sudden. He stopped talking and even his breathing became much more restrained, trying not to make too much noise. His whole body became stiff, as if he dared not move.
Just quietly experience the girl's intoxicating tenderness.
At that moment, Xu Cheng suddenly had an urge to turn himself into a solid beam and shout at Lin Wanzhou: Lin Wanzhou, I will protect you from the wind and rain, I will support everything for you, I will love you, I will care for you...
"It's too hard, relax."
Lin Wanzhou grumbled in dissatisfaction and poked his waist with her little hand.
"I know, I know, don't poke around."
Xu Cheng reacted by bending his body, then took a deep breath to relax his muscles, and tentatively put his right arm around the girl's waist.
It was floating at first, but later, when she didn't open it, I dared to lean on it steadily.
At this moment, even with the rumbling sound of the engine and the slight bumps of the bus, the world is exceptionally peaceful.
Only the light outside the car window was left, quickly passing by the boy and girl cuddling together.
Lin Wanzhou felt that many years later, when she recalled the memories of going home with Xu Cheng, she would definitely remember the time they spent together.
Unfortunately, at this moment, a guy spoke up and ruined the atmosphere.
"Lin Wanzhou."
"explain."
"If Li Qiuyang knew that I made such a great sacrifice for him, would he be moved to death?"
"Shut up."
"……oh."
Seeing that the car was about to arrive at the station, the young man took Lin Wanzhou's right hand and squeezed it.
“It’s time to get off.”
"oh."
The girl, who was almost asleep, woke up rubbing her sleepy eyes.
The two packed their bags and held onto the seats to get to the back door of the car.
Given Xu Cheng's height, it was somewhat difficult for him to grab the handle above, so he habitually held onto the horizontal bar that tied the handle to.
Lin Wanzhou was too lazy to raise her arms, and her little hands tightly grasped the corner of his clothes.
With a "whoosh" sound, the car arrived at the station.
The passengers who were standing at the rear door preparing to get off the bus were thrown forward by inertia.
Lin Wanzhou was also one of them, but the boy was standing in front of her.
The two of them have great chemistry.
Xu Cheng had already turned around and was ready to pick her up, and she was also ready, throwing herself into his arms.
Her forehead could feel the heat of his chest through her clothes. The warm feeling made her rub against him twice and she was reluctant to come out of his arms.
It was not until the loudspeaker finished broadcasting the prompt "Please get off from the back door" that the girl reluctantly pulled her head out, gently pushed him, and walked out from the back door one after the other.
"Another day has ended." Standing under the bus stop, the girl stretched lazily.
This makes her entire body curve appear in a very graceful arc, full of youthfulness and beauty. Her pair of white and tender calves also look particularly beautiful under the street lights.
This caused Xu Cheng to uncontrollably keep his eyes wandering back and forth over her.
Lin Wanzhou didn't hate this kind of look. She felt it was also proof that she had attractive capital.
Of course, this only applies to Xu Cheng.
If it were someone else, she would shout that guy was a pervert and make him spend the rest of his life in jail.
In recent years, urban infrastructure has gradually developed, and the city at night has gradually become more gorgeous. The shadows of the two were reflected under the street lights, and Lin Wanzhou walked slowly as if he was taking a stroll.
Xu Cheng just followed her at the same pace as hers. Where they went was entirely decided by Lin Wanzhou. Even if she suddenly decided to say, "Xu Cheng, we're not going home tonight," he would definitely follow her to go crazy.
At the age of seventeen, it would be a shame not to go crazy once.
Arriving downstairs of Lin Wanzhoujia's house, the girl stopped, turned around and looked up at Xu Cheng, who was much taller than her.
"Other students are studying hard right now. Isn't it too leisurely for the two of us to go home so slowly?"
"Why are you so relaxed?"
Xu Cheng looked very disdainful, "Don't think that we are wasting time like this. Isn't walking together a unique memory? You can't spend the entire high school studying to be worthy of yourself."
The girl covered her mouth with a smile in her eyes.
"You are the only one who can make the argument of wasting time sound justified, Xu Cheng."
"No, if I could waste my whole life like this, I would be happy to do that."
“…”
His words made the girl feel hot in her heart and on her face.
She lowered her head shyly, pulled the straps of her schoolbag, and tugged at the corners of her clothes.
"I, I'm going back."
She turned around, her steps slow.
It was as if she and Xu Cheng were magnets that attracted each other, and it would take a lot of strength to separate them.
Xu Cheng just looked at her back and couldn't help but ask before she disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
"...Lin Wanzhou, do you want me to hug you again before you leave?"
The girl turned her head.
“Here?”
"Just, just a quick hug."
Without saying no, nor accepting, the graceful girl just stood there, fiddling with her nails with her hands.
Of course Xu Cheng understood her very well, so he took a few steps forward and slowly put his arms around her.
Until suddenly there were rustling footsteps on the stairs.
The two separated quickly as if they had been electrocuted, and within seconds, a familiar female voice exploded in their ears.
"...Xu Cheng? Zhou Zhou?"
Gao Manman, who came down from upstairs carrying a few garbage bags in her hands, stared at the two children standing far away in the corridor and shouted.
The corridor lights are dim.
The distance between the two seemed so deliberate.
One person stood at one end of the corridor, which was the limit of the corridor, but not the limit for the two of them.
Xu Cheng was facing the east wall of the corridor, fiddling with the lock-opening advertisement on the wall. Lin Wanzhou was facing the west wall, stepping on the bicycle pedals there, kicking the bicycle chain and making it spin in circles.
"Aunt Gao..."
I don’t know if it’s because the aura that Gao Manman left on Xu Cheng when she was a child was too strong, but every time I see Lin Wanzhou’s mother, I always feel instinctively nervous like a child.
Lin Wanzhou was also extremely nervous and called out softly, "Mom."
"Long time no see Aunt Gao, you are back from abroad."
Gao Manman looked Xu Cheng up and down, "Long time no see, little Xu Cheng. I haven't seen you for a year. Have you grown taller?"
"Hehe." Xu Cheng looked like a simple boy, scratching the back of his head with a smile.
"It's a little bit longer, a little bit longer, then I'll send Zhou Zhou back. Um, um, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he turned around and said, “Oh, I’ll help you throw away this garbage, Aunt Gao.”
Gao Manman said a few polite words, but couldn't resist Xu Cheng's kindness, so she let him take it away.
"I heard that you have opened a company now? It's called Qingzhou?"
"You heard about it."
"That's great. Come to my house for dinner some other day. Auntie wants to talk to you about something."
"Okay, I'll definitely go."
After replying to Gao Manman, Xu Cheng ran all the way back home. After closing the door, he realized that he was still holding the garbage that he had taken from Gao Manman.
I was so confused that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I hope the next time the bride will be her daughter.
I threw the garbage at the door, thinking I would throw it away when I went downstairs.
Sitting on the sofa, he took out his cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, there was a message from Lin Wanzhou flashing on QQ.
The porridge boss: "Coward, look how scared you are by my mom, [ghost face]."
Jinghai said affectionately: "Don't talk nonsense, you are not that good, but your mother went out to study for a year, how come she has such an aura now, it's so scary."
Xu Cheng didn't know whether Gao Manman had discovered the secret between him and Lin Wanzhou.
I think I saw something.
After all, their cover-ups just now seemed a bit clumsy.
He recalled the scene where Gao Manman called him and said she had something to talk about.
What to talk about?
Xu Cheng pondered...
The next day.
Guo Zining and Li Qiuyang were still like children, throwing tantrums and not talking.
The two of them basically never appear in front of each other. Even during group discussions when the four of them meet together, they just turn their heads away and don't speak. Only Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou are left talking to each other .
In physical education class.
Xu Cheng found Li Qiuyang in the corner of the playground.
He sat on the steps of the auditorium, and Xu Cheng sat down next to him.
"I say, Qiuyang, are you going to stop talking to Guo Zining?"
“…”
Li Qiuyang did not answer.
Xu Cheng looked at the blue sky in the distance and continued, "I heard everything. You look like you're giving yourself away."
“I, I didn’t…”
Li Qiuyang stubbornly retorted, "Old Xu, can you help me with something?"
"Fighting?"
"It wasn't a fight. That guy was on the foreign language school football team. Our school team will play against them in the game in a few days."
"Can you beat him?"
"We can't beat them. Our No. 1 Middle School ranks last every year. Otherwise, why would I need your help?"
Li Qiuyang is a member of the school football team. Although he is rather fat and does not run very fast, No. 1 Middle School, which values academic performance, has not made much progress in other aspects. The school football team, which has barely enough people, has members who are basically as mixed as he is.
Xu Cheng thought for a moment, "Let alone whether we can win or not, even if we win, will we have face in front of Guo Zining? This idea is a bit childish, and a bit selfish. Well, I'll give you some face and I won't say you're stupid."
“…”
Li Qiuyang didn't say anything and lowered his head in frustration.
And at this moment.
He felt another tap on his shoulder.
He raised his head and looked at Xu Cheng beside him in surprise.
The boy just looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
"But being a little childish and self-centered seems to be more what people at this age would do."
"This favor."
"Just help..."
